Selling my Sky-Watcher Skymax 127 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with the excellent automatic SynScan AZ GOTO mount and tripod.
Included are 2x Barlow Lens, Super 10mm and Super 25 Wide Angle Long Eye Relief.
Rarely used due to light and lack of space to leave set up. Excellent piece of kit, great for the beginner or medium level astronomer, especially good for studying the craters on the moon with mind blowing sharpness. Once set up, you can just pick your target from a list on the control and the finder will move to it and then track it through the sky.
Here’s a useful review of the scope.
Open to postal options, paid for by winning bidder (of course!).
